As we get ever nearer to the end of another school year, I am already thinking about the holidays and what that means to us. The summer holiday will involve lots of “Mum, can I?”, “Mum, please”, followed by “Mum, it’s not fair” and let’s throw in more than a few “Mum,...

A while ago, I heard about Morning Pages but to be honest, they just seemed like a task I could do without. They appeared to be a different way of journalling and although I usually jump on anything to help me with my own growth, I decided to pass on...

On Monday, I was fortunate enough to spend an Afternoon of Happiness in London. This was an event organised by Action for Happiness and included a 1.5 hour chat with the Dalai Lama. Now if that wasn’t inspirational enough, there were a number of other guest speakers, all of whom wanted us to be...
